Tick, Tick Boom: Who’s in the new Netflix movie?

Tick, Tick Boom hits select theaters Friday, Nov. 12 and will land on Netflix a week later. The drama, based on the autobiographical musical by late playwright Jonathan Larson (the creator of Rent), is Lin-Manuel Miranda’s feature directorial debut.

Viewers will be transported to 1990 when Larson was working as a waiter and struggling to write the play of his dreams. There is a story that’s been coming to life in Jon for years in the movie, but it’s been a fight for him to write the amazing play he knows he has inside of him.

He’s surrounding by the magic of New York City in its glitz and its grime, and supported by all of his friends but when it comes to the arts you can spend a lifetime reaching for the stars only to come up empty. For Jon, life is ticking by and he wants to leave his mark on the world before his time runs up.

Andrew Garfield brings Larson to life in Tick, Tick Boom showcasing the playwright’s life at 30 from his work which is on the cusp of gaining some traction to his relationships that are both straining and blooming in this chapter of his career.
